What do dress alteration services include?

From simple trimmings to extensive adjustments, a dress tailor can take on almost any alteration request to ensure that your dress fits perfectly according to your exact measurements and unique body type. You need not fret over an ill-fitting dress, especially when you're gearing up for a memorable event—be it a school formal, a wedding, or even just a second date! Here are some common alteration services you can find on Airtasker:


Dress reshaping

If you need to adjust the silhouette, change the neckline, or modify the waistline, dress reshaping is the service for you. This can transform the overall look and fit of your garment to better suit your style and body shape and make it feel uniquely yours. A skilled dress tailor can work with the fabric's drape and structure to enhance its flattering features and make sure it complements your figure perfectly.


Dress shortening

Feeling restricted by your floor-length gown, or looking to switch up its length to give it a more versatile look? Consider availing of dress shortening near you. Taskers can expertly cut a dress to align with your preferred length without compromising the original design and proportions. 


Dress repair

From fixing ripped seams to replacing missing beads or buttons, dress repair services can restore your favourite dress to its former glory and get it to look flawless and ready for your next big event. A dress tailor can address any damages or wear-and-tear issues. Repairs also help prolong the lifespan of your dress and preserve its beauty for years to come.


Formal dress alterations

Some ball gowns and evening dresses for formal events come with a hefty price tag, so it's natural to want to make the most of your investment. If your gown feels a bit too snug or your cocktail dress is loose in certain areas, a dress alteration service can come to the rescue. They can also re-strap, re-bead, or even shorten them, giving your dress a fresh look without the expense of buying a new one.
